asos Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I installed the Chilton DW1 by Keith Paine (chilton_dw1.zip). As I like to have a working autopilot in all my aircraft (though many aircraft did not have one in reality), I copied and autopilot entries and the radios entries from the default C172 into its aircraft.cfg--I do that with all a/c that have no AP. Now the autopilot works, but it will not keep a steady course (on the carrot in the C172 heading indicator I have installed in the 2D PANEL) , but it keeps swaying 30 degrees to the left of the carrot and then 30 degrees to the right of it, and keeps on doing that continuously. I have met the same problem with other a/c in the past too... Any ideas how I could fix that so I can keep a steady course? Any help will be appreciated. Keith Paine's aircraft are excellent and fill in a vacuum in British a/c of the 30's. I strongly advise them and they are excellent for VFR flights too. Nick, Athens, Greece.

StringBean Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Try this, in the aircraft.cfg find... [direction_indicators] //1 Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro, 3=Electro-Mag Slaved Compass, 4=Slaved to another //2 Indicator number of slaving indicator if Type = 4 direction_indicator.0=0,0 ...and change it to.... [direction_indicators] //1 Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro, 3=Electro-Mag Slaved Compass, 4=Slaved to another //2 Indicator number of slaving indicator if Type = 4 direction_indicator.0=1,0 While you are at it... attitude_indicators] //Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro attitude_indicator.0 = 1 [turn_indicators] //Type: 0=None, 1=Electric Gyro, 2= Vacuum Gyro turn_indicator.0=1,0 [vacuum_system] max_pressure=0 vacuum_type=1 //Type: 0=None, 1=Engine pump (default), 2=Pneumatic, 3=Venturi This should get you going. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

asos Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Stingbean, Your advice worked like a charm--no more swaying. I often wonder how do you know all this stuff. Do you make aircraft for the sims? I am so grateful. You have solved a problem that I have seen with other planes--shall fix those too if I ran into them while simming. Thanks again, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Glad it worked for you. Do you make aircraft for the sims? Wish I had the time. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?
